A busy week at edgeio

I wanted to give a status report on our first week from a product development Ã¢â‚¬Â¨point of view. First, itÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s been a busy first week at edgeio. Since launch, over Ã¢â‚¬Â¨5,000 items have been published from more than 1,400 cities. While this is greatÃ¢â‚¬Â¨ news, things did not go smoothly for many people who wanted their items Ã¢â‚¬Â¨listed. In the world of RSS, ping servers, tagging, and claiming blogs Ã¢â‚¬Â¨there are numerous quirks that we did not encounter during our betaÃ¢â‚¬Â¨ tests. So, we have learned a lot. We are now addressing known issues as Ã¢â‚¬Â¨quickly as possible. While mostly under-the-covers, weÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve been launching updates Ã¢â‚¬Â¨to the edgeio service on almost a daily basis since and plan to continue that Ã¢â‚¬Â¨pace of improvement until publishing on edgeio is easy for everyone.Ã¢â‚¬Â¨Ã¢â‚¬Â¨ In addition to fixing bugs, we are also trying to answer the question,Ã¢â‚¬Â¨ Ã¢â‚¬Å“what if I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t know how to tag and I am not sure if my website Ã¢â‚¬Â¨notifies a ping server?Ã¢â‚¬Â. Stay tuned for the answer which should beÃ¢â‚¬Â¨ coming within the week. If you have specific issues please send feedback to feedback@edgeio.com. We Ã¢â‚¬Â¨read everything and learn from it.
